Bug#278909: kfloppy fails to format floppy
Subject: kfloppy fails to format my floppy
Package: kfloppy
Version: 4:3.2.2-2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi!
I'm trying to use your package to format a floppy. It starts, I click
on format, the mouse courser turns into the "please wait" watch, all
buttons get inactice, I see my floppy LED lighting up (so I'm sure,
kfloppy is accessing the right device), but no progress bar apears, and
nothing seems to happen. After I couple of minutes I lost patience and
killed kfloppy, which left the floppy unformated and therefore unusable.
I heard from a friend, that he has the same problems. He tried the
package in unstable, which had the same bug, but I didn't tested the sid
package myself.
Do you need any additional information? Since I neither use KDE nor
floppies regulary, I unsure where to find usefull debug information ;)
Yours sincerely,
Alexander
